Hi Paul.
I’m self taught, but when I started carving there was very little resources out there. Now there’s hundreds of books, & now videos.If you don’t care to spend too much on tools, check this set at Grizzley , it looks like a pretty good deal. It has a wide variety. They may not have a real good edge on them, so you’ll have to resharpen them. The main thing in carving is a sharp chisel. With my experience Pfiel came with the chisels real sharp.My first caring book was By Harold Enlow, Driftwood carving. Woodcarving Illustrated Magazine has a lot of step by step beginner carving articles. Check out Amazon for back issues.I hope this will help.
